Quite nice hotel and now rebranded as Hotel Philadelphia 201, as of Jan 2019... we were lucky to get a high floor and beautiful view of the square + staff were all super friendly + bed was very cozy !!

B Rabbitt

Staff was accommodating, let us check in a little early and have us free wifi . Was a great deal and very close to the business district. A little old, but clean and comfy . Nice tv !

LuckypooZa !!

I arrived at 11am and was happily able to get an early check in. room was obviously remodeled since some of the other comments, fridge would have been nice. I got a super rate online so no complaints.

Alex Cook

Great rate if you work for Comcast. Great service. Renovation is slowing improving the look. Housekeeping has improved but has a way to go. Gluten Free Beer (Redbridge) at the lobby bar !

L. T.

Very kind front desk staff . Lovely lobby and convenient location that's not in the middle of everything. Close enough to walk around downtown. However, my bed linens were a little stained.

Rachel Mercer

Comfortable rooms , decent price. For it's location it's one of the better deals in the city - many tourist attractions , great restaurants , and cheaper parking are all within walking distance.

Robert Tressler

SPG membership and booking with Sheraton online we got a great view on the 21st floor. Other than that pretty standard downtown hotel in a good spot for city center attractions .

Tara C

Became an SPG member & received free wifi . Flat screen TV , comfy bed & signed up to not receive housekeeping every day in lieu of 500 SPG points each day you opt out.

Ha Diem

Had an amazing stay here and the location was great. Wifi cost money, but is free if you book through Starwood preferred guests program.

Dan Sohayda

Two parking payment machines at the exit of the garage . They take credit cards , but also lock up traffic after large events . Wish they'd move them by the elevators to pay before you leave as others do

Steve Marshall

Listen to the bad tips here. Checked after a show at the Mann theater about 11:00 PM so I was committed. Hotel had an 18 wheeler with a generator supplying power and drying fans all over the lobby

Joe Bell

front desk clerk Asia was the best. Great service, great smile, beautiful personality. Made this stay special with her special touch and affection.

Roxy R

Amazing staff ! The ac in my unit was making a loud , metal noise. Engineer came up to check it out and front desk immediately moved me to another room and even helped me move my stuff.

Karalyn Shimmyo

Good price for the area, very comfortable , and they have a beautiful pool and fitness center . Would definitely stay here again.

Tanya Hutchins

Newly renovated rooms with flat screen TVs . WiFi comped for our conference . Great view if downtown. Only things missing are the fridge and microwave.

Richard Laskey

Showers could be best described as a lukewarm drizzle. Engage the massage mode with the knob on the shower head for laser-focused spot cleaning .

Visit Philly

The purple PHLASH trolley runs Fri, Sat & Sun from 10-6 pm May-October 28, 2012. Just head to stop 5, buy a $2 ticket & you'll be on your way to seeing Philadelphia's attractions and museums . Read more

Luis Vasquez

Rooms were nice. The restaurant in the lobby is understaffed. Otherwise, it's a good value place to stay while in Downtown Philadelphia.

Chris Skiles

Put the going green door hang on your door know for a $5 food/drink coupon. I used it for Starbucks downstairs every morning.

Amanda Thau

HUGE hotel . Be warned, some of the rooms aren't renovated yet. Ask when you book !

Jasmine Richards

If you're just parking overnight the best bet is the lot across the street go $5

AT&T

Another great reason to stay here: AT&T Wi-Fi is one of the many amenities here for guests. It’s fast and easy to connect.

Richard Laskey

If you're a diabetic, they will not give you a sharps container, but you can give your sharps to someone "in security" who will handle their disposal. A tad demeaning, but useful

Philip Saul

The bagels are only 2 bucks and you get as much cream cheese as you want! Great way to start your day in Philly!

Kara Patterson

The gym has been recently renovated (big improvement) but now it feels like a hot yoga class in there...soooo hot and humid!!

David Gonzalez

The Hotel and Rooms are Nice but don't try to order anything to be delivered at the hotel , they keep packages in another room locked and it's not always available to retrieve them

Allison

No fridges in room. Have to pay for Internet. Breakfast buffet = $17. Good location. Comfy rooms . Helpful staff . Great workout room .

Flo Davies

Love the hotel , but would it kill them to put in a mini fridge and a microwave? Not everyone wants to eat downstairs. I would definitely stay here again. Who gives a crap about a flat screen ?

Patrick Healy

Really like this place. Good folks and reasonable for the quality. Only complaint: don't charge for wifi . That's just effing greedy guys. Internet is on par with hot running water. Seriously.

Steph Katrina

Comfortable hotel in a prime location.

Elizabeth

Very nice, recently remodeled hotel with a friendly staff . Very easy walking distance to Verizon Tower or Comcast Center. And they allow pets !

KHS

Still loud ac but it works fine. Now w flat screen tv . Location great for walking around city . Lounge on 26th floor for you frequent travellers

Nathan

Mreh. Stay just about anywhere else.

Dapper Dabner

Great service! Attentive, polite and prompt customer service.

Vallyri

Location kinda sucks because it's close to highway and construction but nice staff and clean rooms .

Jack Lindberg

back for a second year in a row! Great rooms, comfy beds and big TVs .

Peter Kuck

Cheap hotel in quality and price. Be prepared to expect reasonable accommodations, expensive parking , moderately clean rooms , and a big box hotel atmosphere.

Misty T.

Our room was modern and clean . Flat screen . Newly remodeled. Just great!

tricia okin

This is actually a really great place to stay. A lot of the people complaining about no flat screen tv are absurd. That's what whiny people say.

Christella Morris

The room seems nice and the guy at the front desk gave me free wifi just had to ask :-)

Charlotte L

Renovated room , amazing view , my wifi was comped AND my room was upgraded - why? I WAS POLITE even though I had a shitty travel day.

Chy T

One of the employees at the check in desk is sport helpful...and quite the looker ;)

David Nelson

Don't pay the $38 a day parking . City garage across the street is $5 a day.

A Scott

Self parking is 38/day, valet 44. The garage across the street is 18/day but no in and out.

Stephen Pang

Watch out for the noisy building site across the street...May 2013

Maya Paveza

Gross, awful, even management wouldn't respond to requests to discuss the room or lack of view despite.paying for city view . charged me more with no explanation a few days later. no response from CSR.

Ali Fun

Odd numbered rooms on the top floors have the best view

M. Elizabeth Hershey

Pay for wi-fi, at a fancy hotel ? Also advertised HBO and premium cable but the only watchable was payperview - for network television .

Sheaffer Pen

We are at the Philadelphia Pen Show January 20-22, 2012!! Check out our booth and mention Foursquare Tip!

Lezlee Hughes

Needs a renovation. AC is super loud . Carpet is scary. Great room service menu and nice tv . Takes a long time for someone to answer the phone.
